SANTA ANA -- The Los Angeles police captain who was chairman of the department's board of rights hearing that fired Christopher Dorner and may be one of the top targets in Dorner's list of enemies has not left his home since the manhunt for the ex-LAPD officer began on Monday, he told the Orange County Register on Sunday.

In an interview with the newspaper, Capt. Phil Tingirides said he accepts being a target, but it is difficult for him to understand why his wife and six children are on Dorner's enemies list.

"I haven't been able for the last few days to go outside my house," Tingirides told the Register.

"Am I afraid? Well, I hesitate to use the word ... but I saw what he did to his attorney.

One of the three people killed allegedly by Dorner, was Monica Quan, the daughter of Randy Quan. He is a former LAPD officer turned union lawyer, who had represented Dorner at his board of rights hearing.
